What's in stock vs. backordered?

[michael zaletel]

Where can I find a list of what is currently in stock RED accessories (plenty of supply) versus what is backordered (would have to wait if ordered today). In particular, which RED lenses are in stock and have no waiting list or backorder list?

Tried to find this via search but could not.

whats the average time of getting the stuff, especially the 19 mm base plate and bottom plate....if you want to use arri stuff 19mm...i cant buy the 15mm just for a couple of weeks/will have to rent if this is the case with me----do you have any further info?

[Steve Phillipps]

This is obviously the one drawback with Red, availability of product. I'm probably being naiive but surely if demand is there (and it CLEARLY is) surely it should be possible to find folks to make the parts, others to assemble them and then to ship? Shoot me down for my overly simplistic view please!

I've had my RED for about a month and still haven't received the bottom plate or dovetail in my production pack...

how are you mounting the rods?

[Gunleik Groven]

Just guessing here, but I had to mount the RODS in the top handle before I got the baseplate/dovetail. Actually quite neat.

so you are not really able to use a MB and FF right now?----is there another way to attach the 19 mm rods besides the bottomplate and 19 mm plate?

[Gunleik Groven]

I have them now, but have not used a FF. I have used several matteboxes, though, both swing on and clip on. Chroziel. Besides my (not so) lovely Lomo, I have more or less constantly rented a set of Superspeeds since I got my Red... Ones attitude towards glass have changed...

Gunleik could you chime in the 'Lomo' portion of your post?
